‘There’s going to be a four-week beatnik boot camp,’ she says of prep for the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s novel. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Kristen Stewart Photo: MTV News While Kristen Stewart is currently busy promoting “Eclipse,” out June 30, another project has her excited for the future: the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic 1957 Beat novel “On the Road.” With the film set to shoot in August, Stewart is welcoming the chance to learn a bit more about the pivotal literary and cultural movement. “I’m really nervous, like, honestly and genuinely really nervous about it,” she told MTV News. “But not in a bad way. People think nerves are a bad thing. I love them. They get you ready to do something big. I’m stoked” Filming will take place in Canada, but first, she and the rest of the cast will get schooled in all things beat. “There’s going to be a four-week beatnik boot camp in Montreal,” she revealed. “That’s going to be amazing, because I haven’t read everything those guys read. There’s a huge education process that’s going to take place with the whole cast. It’s a small movie, so to have that much time is just awesome.’ “On the Road” also stars Garrett Hedlund (“Tron Legacy”) as Dean Moriarty, the disaffected drifter at the center of the story. Stewart will play Marylou, Dean’s wife. Filling out the rest of the cast are Kirsten Dunst and British actor Sam Riley (“Control”). Francis Ford Coppola is producing, and Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) will direct. The film will begin shooting August 2 in Montreal. Producers have already set up an office at Cite du Cinema, the city’s largest film production facility. After filming there for most of August, the shoot will shift to New Orleans for a month, then head to Mexico for a few weeks and finally return to Montreal before wrapping just in time for Stewart to shoot the final two “Twilight” flicks, adapted from “Breaking Dawn.” We’ll be live at the L.A. premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” on Thursday, June 24. Tune in to Movies.MTV.com at 9:30 ET (8:30 Central) for our red-carpet webcast, and watch us chat with Robert, Kristen, Taylor and all your favorite stars.

The day after President Obama’s oil spill speech — in which the President pivoted from the ongoing mess in the Gulf of Mexico to his call for ending our “addiction” to fossil fuels — ABC’s World News obliged the White House’s agenda with a profile of solar cell manufacturer Natcore , whose president, Chuck Provini, says he can cut the costs of solar cells (which are right now too expensive to be economically viable without government subsidies). But the problem, as ABC correspondent Dan Harris helped frame it, is that this entrepreneur was getting nothing but “blank stares” from the “congressional staffers, lawyers and lobbyists” he met with in Washington, D.C. — as if a venture capitalists and other private investors wouldn’t be tripping over themselves to get in on the ground floor of a process that could actually make solar power viable. And the hero of the story, as ABC told it, is China’s dictatorship, which has made a deal with the company and will now gain the “hundreds of jobs” that U.S. officials have supposedly squandered by not bankrolling Provini: DAN HARRIS: There was, however, one place offering help: China. The government flew him over there and made him a very generous offer. (to Provini) Would you say that the Chinese officials made your life easy in this process? CHUCK PROVINI, via Skype: It’s been a pleasure. They’ve been gracious. They’ve cut through red tape. HARRIS: He is about to cut a deal to open a factory that will create hundreds of jobs – jobs that could have been created here….Critics say the federal government needs a big, bold plan to dramatically ramp up our use of clean energy. Until then, they say, we’re going to see a lot more American companies like Natcore exporting their promising ideas to places like China. Does ABC really think that good business ideas require the support of lobbyists, lawyers and congressional staffers? That the free market cannot innovate and economize with at “big, bold” government “plan?” MRC’s Brad Wilmouth caught the story from the June 16 World News with Diane Sawyer: DIANE SAWYER: And, in his speech last night, President Obama used the moment to call for less dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels and making sure that China doesn’t get all the new jobs in wind and solar power. But Dan Harris heard a story today of one company, one big idea, but in America, no one to say give it a try. DAN HARRIS: Natcore is a small company based in New Jersey that says it’s come up with an innovative new approach to make solar technology better and cheaper, one that its scientists are very excited about. The president of the company – this guy, Chuck Provini – says he was determined to set up shop here in America. CHUCK PROVINI, NATCORE SOLAR: I live here in New Jersey. I’m a former Marine. I consider myself a good American and a patriot. We wanted to do business in the States. HARRIS: He went to Washington, D.C., and met with congressional staffers, lawyers and lobbyists, but says he couldn’t get the help raising the money that he needed. [to Provini] Were you met with blank stares? PROVINI: They were very polite. We got polite letters, polite conversations, but it was obvious that there was a major disconnect. HARRIS: There was, however, one place offering help: China. The government flew him over there and made him a very generous offer. Would you say that the Chinese officials made your life easy in this process? PROVINI: It’s been a pleasure. They’ve been gracious. They’ve cut through red tape. HARRIS: He is about to cut a deal to open a factory that will create hundreds of jobs – jobs that could have been created here. (to Provini, via Skype) You’re now in China, as we speak, in the middle of the night, and you’re not far away from inking a final deal. PROVINI: Well, I’m really curious as to how you found me at 2:00 in the morning in Jujo City. HARRIS: To be fair, it is hard for the U.S. to compete with China’s dictatorial government, which essentially runs the entire economy. But still, critics say the federal government needs a big, bold plan to dramatically ramp up our use of clean energy. Until then, they say, we’re going to see a lot more American companies like Natcore exporting their promising ideas to places like China. Diane? SAWYER: A real cautionary tale about the need for a fast track here in America. Dan Harris reporting.

Mexico has picked up three of the four cards shown today.

Manchester United have not seen much of Javier Hernández yet but the striker who will join them for the new season delighted the hordes of underdressed Mexican fans in chilly Polokwane by scoring the goal that set his side on the way to victory against a ragged France. Hernández came on as 55th-minute substitute and made the breakthrough nine minutes later, beating the offside trap by a matter of inches and leaving France looking at elimination. A penalty from another substitute, the veteran Cuauhtémoc Blanco made certain of victory 12 minutes from time, taking Mexico level with Uruguay at the top of Group A and leaving France and South Africa with a point each. A point is about all France deserve after two extremely underwhelming displays at this World Cup, and though they could finish their group games with a victory over South Africa, the worry will be that Mexico and Uruguay will draw to both progress. Mexico began as if they meant business, showing much more attacking desire than in their opening game against South Africa and giving France a couple of scares in the first 10 minutes. Giovani dos Santos was in an offside position when he struck a post after only two minutes, but France had been warned. Carlos Vela managed to stay onside when Mexico came forward again, though after expertly gathering Rafael Márquez’s lofted pass, he shot early and high with his left foot. Guillermo Franco, who picked up the game’s first caution for delaying the taking of a free-kick, also shot too high after easily turning Eric Abidal on the adge of the area. France weathered that storm and gradually pushed Mexico back before producing a few attacks of their own. There was no one in the middle when Franck Ribéry crossed invitingly across the face of goal from the right, and though Jérémy Toulalan sent over an even better centre a few minutes later Florent Malouda was unable to get on the end of it. There was a definite sense, missing in most of the opening round of games, that both sides wanted to win this fixture. That would make qualification almost certain, whereas to lose, with Uruguay already on four points, would make life tricky if not impossible on the final day. Carlos Salcido, Mexico’s impressive left-back, brought the first real save of the evening from Hugo Lloris with a galloping run into the box and a shot directly at the goalkeeper, but the El Tri cause was not helped when Vela disappeared after just half an hour. He went down injured after no obvious contact with an opponent and was unable to continue. Little had been seen of Nicolas Anelka until he brought a routine save from Oscar Perez with a tame shot on the stroke of half-time, though he was indirectly involved in Toulalan collecting a caution in the last act of the first half that will put him out of the next game. Anelka tried to shoot from a free-kick for a foul on Ribéry, but shot into the Mexican wall so meekly that the wall broke up and a downfield breakaway was launched. Toulalan could not get back in time and was obliged to block Franco near halfway to prevent the Mexican striker breaking into space. It was hardly the biggest of surprises when Anelka was hauled off at half-time, though Raymond Domenech chose to replace him with André-Pierre Gignac rather than Thierry Henry. PSV Eindhoven’s Salcido continued to show up well, cutting in from the left at the start of the second half and shaping to shoot before Bacary Sagna brought him down. Mexico produced a well worked free move from the free kick to get Dos Santos to the goal-line, only for the former Spurs player to waste the opportunity with a cross played behind his strikers. France came back down the pitch and Malouda brought a save from Perez with a rising shot that the goalkeeper tipped over the bar, before Dos Santos wasted a couple of free-kicks at the other end by a distance that suggested the ball was to blame. Both efforts, from a fair way out, sailed so harmlessly dead it was difficult to know what he was attempting, though the look Javier Aguirre shot him from the bench on the second occasion suggested he might be wiser trying something more reliable next time. That was rendered unnecessary by what happened next, with Hernández taking advantage of a stupendously good linesman’s call to stay onside and put Mexico in front. The substitute passed backwards to Márquez then set off upfield for the return, which was timed to perfection and left Hernández the relatively simple task of gathering in space, then rounding Lloris to score. The French appealed for offside, but the flag had stayed down throughout the move, and replays showed that Hernández was onside, though by no more than a foot, when the ball was played. France gave up without much of a fight, with neither Ribéry nor Malouda succeeding in taking the ball past opponents, and another perplexing attacking substitution by Domenech failing to make any discernible difference. Their off-night was summed up when Eric Abidal brought down Pablo Barrera for the penalty. The defender seemed to have time to pull out of the tackle when Barrera played the ball past him and drew the foul, but Abidal was either too tired or too resigned to be concerned. Contact was made, the referee was correct in pointing to the spot, and Blanco found the bottom corner. Surprisingly good last time, France are right back in the doldrums again.

Hit the auto-update button for the latest posts, discuss all the day’s action and email barry.glendenning@guardian.co.uk 12 min: For Mexico, Franco turns and shoots over the bar from the edge of the penalty area. Moments previously, France had gone close when Malouda tried to pull the ball back for Ribery in the Mexico penalty, only for a defender to make a crucial interception. There was somebody nipping at Malouda’s ankles in a crowded penalty area – if he’d gone to ground he might well have got a penalty. 10 min: It’s been an entertaining opening 10 minutes, despite the best attempts of the referee, who seems a bit whistle-happy and has already had words with Mexican full-back Ricardo Osorio, telling him to pull his sleeves down. Are referees even allowed do that? 8 min: From outside the centre circle inside his own half, Carlos Vela dinks a beautifully weighted long ball over the top of the France defence. It bounces and sits up beautifully for Carlos Vela to try his luck with a diagonal volley or square for two team-mates – Franco and Salcido – sprinting into the middle. The Arsenal striker opts to shoot but blasts the ball high over the bar. 7 min: In quick succession, both goalkeepers are forced to race into action to catch through-balls being chased down by strikers. Hugo Lloris was probably given most to think about. 5 min: Mexico striker Guillermo Franco picks up the first yellow card of the night, either for a foul on Abou Diaby or for standing in front of the ball so FVrance couldn’t take a quick free-kick. He’s furious with the referee. Nic Anelka blasts the ball over the bar from the edge of the final third. 3 min: Mexico gallop clear on the break, the ball is played down the left channel into the path of Giovani Dos Santos, who shoots across the face of goal only to see the ball hit the foot of the post and bounce back into play. Wouldn’t have counted anyway – he was offside. 2 min: Mexico concede a free-kick not far inside the Mexico half for a Carlos Salcido bodycheck on Franckl Ribery. The ball is launched high into the night sky towards the Mexican penalty area. They clear their lines. 1 min: Mexico win the toss on a windy night in Polokwane and Elect to play from right to left. France kick off. Both sets of players line up in the colours you’d expect them to. Not long now: The teams emerge from the tunnel, led by the referee who picks the ball of its plinth. I remain cautiously optimistic that one of them will forget to do that some night and then have to scurry back to get it hoping nobody will notice. Alternatively, it would be amusing if whoever it is whose job it is to place it on the plinth decided, for a laugh, to put a rugby ball or a nice cake there instead. What are they going to do on the night of the final, when they’ll need two plinths: one for the World Cup trophy and one for the official match-ball? These are the things I lie awake at night thinking and worrying about. Brian O Donnchadha writes: “I’ve been living in the states now for just over four years and I was finally beginning to forget what craggy-face Dunphy looked like,” he says. “Thanks for undoing years of hard work.” Living in the States with a name like that? Rather you than me. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess the natives struggle with it. Match pointers with which to bore your fellow drinkers (if you’re in the pub and reading this on an iPhone or Blackberry, for whatever reason) • Mexico have never won a World Cup match against any of the seven countries that have won the competition (11 defeats and five draws) • France are unbeaten in their last eight finals games, although they have drawn half of those matches • Mexico have scored at least one goal in each of their last nine World Cup games against European sides • Nicolas Anelka has failed to have a shot on target in 384 consecutive minutes for the French side • Mexico have made it to the knockout stage in their previous five World Cup participations On yellow cards and will miss next match if they get booked France: Jeremy Toulalan, Patrice Evra, Franck Ribery. Mexico: Efrain Juarez, Gerrardo Torrado. France: Lloris, Sagna, Gallas, Abidal, Evra, Govou, Toulalan, Diaby, Malouda, Ribery, Anelka. Subs: Mandanda, Reveillere, Planus, Gourcuff, Cisse, Gignac, Henry, Squillaci, Diarra, Valbuena, Clichy. Mexico: Perez, Osorio, Moreno, Rodriguez, Salcido, Marquez, Giovani, Juarez, Torrado, Vela, Franco. Subs: Ochoa, Barrera, Castro, Blanco, Aguilar, Hernandez, Guardado, Magallon, Torres, Bautista, Medina, Michel. Referee: Khalil Al Ghamdi (Saudi Arabia) Okey dokey , for anyone who’s heard about them, but never seen them in action, here’s RTE’s answer to the Match Of The Day Lineker, Hanson, Shearer and Dixon axis of tedium in action, picking over the bones of the Republic of Ireland’s exit from the World Cup qualifying play-off at the hands of France. From the left: Bill O’Herlihy and pundits John Giles, Graeme Souness and Eamon Dunphy. This is Dunphy in comparatively mellow mode. Here is in slightly less mellow mode after seeing Sven-Goran Eriksson being interviewed by Garth Crooks after England struggled to beat Ecuador four years ago. Good evening everybody. Sombreros, berets, comedy moustaches, onion necklaces and other lazy national stereotypes at the ready for tonight’s Guardian minute-by-minute coverage of this Group A encounter at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, 1,229m above sea level. To put that in perspective, this is the fourth highest of the 10 World Cup finals venues. To put that in even more perspective, Paris is 130m above sea level at its highest point, compared to Mexico City at 2,240m. I make that advantage Mexico before a Jabulani has been kicked … 5mph faster than it would be at sea level. Diego Forlan drove Uruguay top of this group last night with their emphatic win over hosts South Africa, which means defeat for either of these two sides would leave them in all sorts of bother, leaving them three points off the pace with one match to play and relying on other results, goal difference, other teams not conspiring against them by colluding and all the usual last-round-of-the-group-stage shenanigans. But you’re clever and already know all that, so you don’t need me to tell you. If you’re struggling to recall how either or both these sides fared in their opening matches because you’re in the early stages of senility, your synapses are fried through years of alcohol and/or drug abuse, or some other reason, here are David Hytner’s report on France’s dull opener against Uruguay and Paul Wilson’s account of Mexico’s opener against South Africa , for your reading pleasure. Kick-off is at 7.30pm. I’ll be back at 7pm or so to bring you all the team news and pre-match build-up. World Cup 2010 France Mexico World Cup 2010 Group A Barry Glendenning guardian.co.uk
